C G F x4 


[Verso 1]

C        G                 F 
  Just a minute before you leave 
C                G                  F 
 Just a minute before you touch the door 
C                        G         F 
  What is it that you're trying to achieve? 
         C                 G                  F 
  Do you think we can just talk about it some more? 
    Dm 
The streets are filled with vipers 
       Dm 
Who've lost all ray of hope 
   G 
It ain't even safe no more 
G 
In the palace of the Pope 


[Refrão]

C           G          F 
Don't fall apart on me tonight 
C            G                  F 
I just don't think that I could handle it 
C           G          F 
Don't fall apart on me tonight 
Dm                 Em 
Yesterday's just a memory 
   F                                    G 
Tomorrow is never what it's supposed to be 
G 
And I need you, oh yeah 


[Verso 2]

C            G              F 
   Come over here from over there 
           C     G               F 
  Sit down here. You can have my chair 
C                G         F 
  I can't see us goin' anywhere 
    C                    G                       F 
The only place open is a thousand miles away and I can't take you there 
  Dm 
I wish I'd have been a doctor 
Dm 
Maybe I'd have saved some lives been lost 
G 
Maybe I'd have done some good in the world 
G 
'Stead of burning every bridge I crossed

[Verso 3]

C             G             F 
  I ain't too good at conversation 
        C              G             F 
So, you might not know exactly how I feel 
        C           G                F 
But if I could, I'd bring you to the mountaintop 
    C           G                  F 
And build you a house of stainless steel 
    Dm 
But it's like I'm stuck inside a painting 
       Dm 
That's hanging in the Louvre 
   G 
My throat start to tickle and my nose itches 
      G 
But I know that I can't move

C           G          F 
Don't fall apart on me tonight 
Dm                       Em 
Yesterday's gone but the past lives on 
   F                     G 
Tomorrow's just one step beyond 
G 
And I need you, oh yeah 


[Ponte]

Bb                           F 
Who are these people walking toward you? 
                                    C 
Do you know them or will there be a fight? 
           Bb                  F 
With their humorless smiles so easy to see through 
         F                                 C 
Can they tell you what's wrong from what's right? 
   F                 C 
Do you remember Napolean Street 
F                          C 
Where you blew Jackie P.'s mind? 
            F                     C 
You were so fine, Clark Gable would've fell at your feet 
    Bb       F           G 
And laid his life on the line

[Verso 4]


C              G                       F 
  Let's try to get beneath the surface waste 
        C                      G                     F 
No more booby traps and bombs, No more decadence and charm 
C          G                F 
 No more affection that's misplaced, 
C                          G             F 
 No more mudcake creatures lying in your arms 
Dm 
 What about that billionaire 
         Dm 
With the drumsticks in his pants? 
             G 
He looked so baffled, so bewildered 
        G 
When he played and we didn't dance
